Carnival of Cities for 14 July 2011

Welcome to the Carnival of Cities blog carnival, where we tour the world in a single post, via submissions from a variety of different blogs, all about any aspect of one, single city (or fair-sized town.)

This is the July 13 edition but published a day late, because the ol’ vacation beach condo did not quite have the web access I expected. Oh, well, it was vacation!

Big Sur, California, USA Byteful Travel presents Top 5 Memories of Big Sur’s Andrew Molera Park (How to Charge Seagulls & Live) posted at Byteful Travel, saying, “Big Sur, CA: There are some days when the very air you breathe seems to embrace you like a comforting hug. September 9th was *not* one of those days. It was better. On our way back north, my aunt and I spotted another captivating park within Big Sur, CA: The Andrew Molera State Park (or AMSP). As it turned out, this second stop in Big Sur had many stunning sights in store and would give me the opportunity to touch the waters of the Pacific for the first time in over four years.”

Rochester, New York, USA Traci Suppa presents World’s Largest Public Collection of Video Games, Rochester, NY posted at Go BIG or Go Home, saying, “I wouldn’t make a six hour drive for just any exhibit of electronic games. The International Center for the History of Electronic Games in Rochester, NY, boasts the world’s largest public collection of video games. We played through the e-evolution, from Pong to Wii! My son found Nirvana.”
